Too Much, a new series on Netflix, follows Jessica, a woman in her early 30s, as she moves from New York to London after a tough breakup. The show starts with a funny line about how Americans and Brits see each other. Jessica thinks London will be like the movies, but it's not. She meets Felix, a musician, and they start a complicated relationship.
People have strong opinions about Lena Dunham, the creator of the show. Some love her, others don't. But her previous show, Girls, was a big hit. Many wondered if Too Much would be as good. The show does a good job of showing how Jessica feels after her breakup. It's not easy to watch, but it's real.
The show also tries hard to show that it understands British culture. It mentions things like damp homes and bad teeth. But sometimes, it feels like the show is trying too hard. It's like when Taylor Swift sings about London in her song. It's cute, but it's not new.
But the show gets better in the middle. It shows how Jessica and her ex, Zev, were happy together before things went wrong. It's a story many people can relate to. The show is at its best when it focuses on the characters and their feelings, not just the differences between Americans and Brits.
In the end, Too Much is a good show. It's not perfect, but it's worth watching. It's like a mix of funny and sad, just like life.
